The Brothers Grimm collected the original fairy tales that Americans are most familiar with today. Lyrically translated and beautifully narrated by an all-star cast, these 21 tales are selected from "The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales" and presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.

I’ll have to pick this one up next week when it comes out. Just look at that list of stories and the all-star narrators. I can’t imagine it being anything less than wonderful. I think I’ve read most of the stories, but I have to imagine hearing them told will enhance them for me. There are also a couple that I don’t think I’ve gotten around to yet.

It’s suggested age is 10 and up and if it’s true that theses are the earlier versions of the tales, they can be a bit bloody and less happy than the stories we are used to.
